Ok, I just finished a shave with Barbershop and all of my hesitations with Vegan soaps have been blown out of the water!!  I have to admit that I was extremely impressed by SOAP but the scent did not overwhelm me and for that reason, I didn’t pay as much attention to it as I should have.  This time, I had the right combination from brush, bowl, razor and pre and post shave materials!  All I can say is.....WOW!!  The lather that I built after a 20 second load was as good as any of the other bases that Mohammad has in the stable.  It was extremely slick and had the right amount of fluff to it that is usually missing for me with Vegan soaps.  The shave was amazing and the post shave feel is right there with all of the other soaps that have been released lately.  I’m still in awe as I have been feeling my face every few minutes since shaving.  I really don’t understand how Mohammad does it and I keep thinking things can’t continue to get better but I am shocked once again!!  This Janus Vegan is up there neck and neck with Mallard for me and if you missed out on Barbershop, this is the MUST HAVE from the Janus Vegan base right now!  
Happy Shaving folks!

It's definitely putting the Tallow v Vegan debate to rest.
I'm eager to try that base myself but will hold off for a more appealing scent.

By the way, that's a nice looking brush handle.

Thanks, that was done for me by a brush maker out of Spain called El Druida that does some absolutely stunning stuff.

Soap

Let's not forget Soap.  I certainly prefer the strong and pleasant scent of Barbershop, but Soap, with its milder and, to me, satisfactory scent, delivers  pretty much the same superb lather.  Here it is, once again obscured after having done an excellent job.

I agree! I think that I had the wrong combination of product when I used it and for that reason alone, I did not pay attention to the performance as much as I was paying attention to the performance of the gear I was using.

Actually, I just looked back at the gear I was using and it was some top notch gear(Tradere OC and brand new Fanchurian Brush so I think I was just distracted with other things.

Ah yes. I've seen quite a few stunning Druida's floating around in SOTD pics.

Just posted on their FB page a few minutes ago...

well I havent had a chance to try GD yet, so I figured I'd start with this one.

But that duck lavender WILL be mine when it's released. I will fight people over it.

I just tried Laundry for the first time. All I can say is for me and my face....it’s a WOW! This donkey milk/lamb tallow/duck fat base is simply outstanding, The best GD base I’ve tried by far. Fast lather, luxurious, creamy, extremely protective/cushioning, very slick and capped by the amazing post shave feel. Will definitely be looking forward to more scents in this base,

NY Chypre is also in that base if it’s not sold out at West Coast Shaving yet. Definitely the most amazing base offered! Mandarin Bay was the first one in that combo base. All 3 are outstanding!

Those scents aren’t in my wheelhouse. But...it’s GD...so I’m sure there will be more scents forthcoming. That’s what I love about them...always something new (and usually better) just around the corner...And something for everyone in terms of scents and multiple bases...
